This special issue of Springer Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling (CASM)
intends to publish high quality original research as well as review articles
on case studies, models and methods for the modeling and simulation of
large-scale computer communication networks using either of the following
two approaches:
- Complex networks (Such as modeled, simulated or analyzed using tools
such as Gephi, Network Workbench, Visone, Cytoscape, Pajek and others).
- Agent-based models (such as based on NetLogo, Repast, Mason, Swarm
and others)

Modern computer communication networks often involve a large number of
interacting and adapting entities or nodes. These nodes can be modeled as
agents interacting with each other as well as adapting over time as well as
space. While a large body of literature exists on the modeling and
simulation of computer networks, most current models do not cater for this
emergent complex nature of networks even though such networks can be better
represented as Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), a special class of complex
systems. Meanwhile, a large and multidisciplinary CAS community has evolved
well-developed methods and techniques for the modeling and simulation of CAS
including the use of techniques such as complex networks and Agent-based
Modeling; both of which have been demonstrated to be effective approaches
for the modeling of different aspects of CAS.
Recent work has demonstrated the utility of using either of these approaches
for the modeling of computer communication networks. This special issue of
CASM aims to consolidate such research on the use of these CAS modeling
techniques in the modeling of modern large-scale Complex communication
networks or Complex Adaptive COmmunicatiOn Networks and EnvironmentS
(CACOONS).

Papers submitted to the special issue conform to the scope of the journal
CASM and include a detailed cover letter as outlined here:

Tuesday, January 29, 2013

we have two postdoc openings in the area of discrete mathematics
at the University of Warwick. The details follow. In order to be
considered for both positions one needs to apply for each of them
separately.

Best regards,

Dan Kral and Oleg Pikhurko

Research Fellow
Department of Mathematics

GBP 27,854 - 36,298 pa

Fixed term contract for 36 months

For a project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), we are looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to work in extremal combinatorics under supervision of Oleg Pikhurko. While the main directions of the project will be asymptotic extremal problems for graphs and k-uniform hypergraphs (such as the Turan function and Ramsey numbers), previous experience in these areas is not required.

More importantly, we will be looking for the depth of your research and your proficiency in applying probabilistic, analytic, or algebraic methods to problems of discrete mathematics. In particular, a familiarity with regularity lemmas, graph limits, or flag algebras will be a strong asset.

The starting date for this position is between 1 October 2013 and 1 January 2014.

Candidates should send a CV and a list of publications (that includes a short annotation of at most three of their best papers) to Georgina Copeland (Georgina.Copeland@warwick.ac.uk). Candidates are also encouraged to send a research statement.

You will be expected to perform high quality research in algorithm design and extremal combinatorics under the supervision of Professor Daniel Kral within the framework of an ERC funded project "Classes of Combinatorial Objects: from Structure to Algorithms" (CCOSA).

You will possess a PhD or an equivalent qualification in Mathematics or Computer Science and have a strong background in one or more of the following areas: graph theory, extremal combinatorics, model theory and fixed parameter tractability. The post is based in Department of Computer Science but a close interaction with members of Warwick Mathematics Institute and members of the DIMAP centre is expected.

Please note that this post is available from 1 September 2013 until 30 November 2015, although the start date can be negotiated for the right candidate.

Candidates should provide with their application form a CV, a list of publications and a research statement.

The Conference on Networked Systems (NetSys 2013) provides an
international forum for engineers and scientists in academia,
industry, and government to discuss innovations in the realm of
networked systems – including aspects of networking, distributed
systems, communications, middleware, and applications.

This biennial international conference is the successor of the
conference series Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen (KiVS), which
was started more than 30 years ago and developed to the major
scientific event in German-speaking countries in the field of
communications and distributed systems.

The topic of the GRAPHITE workshop is graph analysis in all its forms in computer science.
Graphs are used to represent data in many application areas, and they are subjected to
various computational algorithms in order to acquire the desired information. These graph
algorithms tend to have common characteristics, such as duplicate detection to guarantee
their termination, independent of their application domain. Over the past few years, it has
been shown that the scalability of such algorithms can be dramatically improved by using,
e.g., external memory, by exploiting parallel architectures, such as clusters, multi-core
CPUs, and graphics processing units, and by using heuristics to guide the search. Novel
techniques to further scale graph search algorithms, and new applications of graph search
are within the scope of this workshop. Another topic of interest of the event is more
related to the structural properties of graphs: which kind of graph characteristics are
relevant for a particular application area, and how can these be measured? Finally, any
novel way of using graphs for a particular application area is on topic. The goal of this
event is to gather scientists from different communities, such as model checking, artificial
intelligence planning, game playing, and algorithm engineering, who do research on graph
search algorithms, such that awareness of each others' work is increased.

The workshop will be held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2013, the
16-th edition of The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice
of Software (ETAPS). ETAPS is a primary European forum for academic
and industrial researchers working on topics relating to Software Science.

Workshop Specific Topics
------------------------

* Algorithms for the verification of hardware and software based on graph exploration
(e.g. the computation of an explicit state space based on an implicit description)

* Application of graph based techniques originating in one application domain, applied on
a problem in another domain (e.g. verification algorithms on artificial intelligence problems)

* Techniques to deal with potentially infinite graphs and infinite families of graphs

its applications. The preceding symposia were held in Riga, Monte
Verita, Rio de Janeiro, Santorini, Menorca Island, Rome, Cape Cod,
Dortmund, Ischia Island, Crete, and Bordeaux.

The main theme of the symposium is the role of experimentation and
of algorithm engineering techniques in the design and evaluation of
algorithms and data structures. Submissions should present
significant contributions supported by experimental evaluation,
methodological issues in the design and interpretation of
experiments, the use of (meta-)heuristics, or application-driven
case studies that deepen the understanding of a problem's
complexity.

Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting
original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics
related to the symposium. Simultaneous submission to other
conferences or workshops with published proceedings is not allowed.

Submissions must not exceed 12 pages formatted according to LNCS
style plus an optional, clearly marked appendix of reasonable
length (to be read at the program committee's discretion). All papers
will be peer reviewed and comments will be provided to the authors.
